"I was 25 when I gave birth. I was healthy. I was young. I stayed active during my pregnancy. I took the best prenatals, went to the gym, used every kind of stretch mark prevention you could think of. I took hours of birthing classes, read every book under the sun, and studied natural childbirth my whole pregnancy," the blogger wrote. "I took this and actually was horrified. I couldn't believe it was me. I'm sharing it because I know in my heart that there are people out there that struggle with inadequacy."

Lee's statement isn't just revealing, it's also relevant. It's so easy to look at the perfectly composed images of pregnancy and early motherhood and think that that's what's real—and that all the other mamas out there have their act together while you're still struggling. But here's the thing: They're often not. We have nothing but love for Lee and the other young mamas out there who are willing to share what it really looks like.

"Be kind to yourself," Lee wrote. "And know that you are not alone. Comparison is the thief of joy. Don't let social media taint your view of what is beautiful, what is REAL."
